A group of folks in California are upset over a new Halloween costume. The costume consists of an alien mask, an orange jump suit with illegal alien written on it and a green card.

The folks that are upset by the costume feel that it is making fun of illegal aliens. But, anyone who has ever watched the movie “District Nine” realizes that this costume makes an entirely different statement.

I guess some people take themselves too seriously.

A California man was recently found dead on his porch. He had committed suicide on Monday but the neighbors thought it was only a Halloween decoration.

Well, at least they found him before Halloween.

In an effort to prevent bootlegging, Kelloggs is experimenting with lasering their logo on their corn flakes. And, while I don’t know if they plan to do every flake or just a random few, the idea is still interesting.

I guess I didn’t know that there was that much of a market for counterfeit corn flakes. But, I do have to wonder how effective lasering will be. After all, if you can afford to make counterfeit corn flakes, you can probably afford to have them lasered too.

I will never be able to buy corn flakes again with out wondering if they are real or fake.

Sponge Bob is getting married. When I first saw the headline, I wondered if it was going to be to Patrick. After all, it would be just like the liberal media to come up with something like that. But, I was relieved to read that his bride would be Sandy the Squirrel.

I know, I need to get a life.

Lately, I have been hearing songs by Chris Isaak on the radio. For the longest time, I would hear the songs and wonder who it is that is singing them. Finally, I tracked him down.

In many respects, he sounds like Roy Orbison and for the longest time I thought that it was. And, after seeing his video, he looks a lot like James Dean.

I don’t know much about the guy but I do enjoy his music.

The other day as I was coming out of Meijers (regional grocery chain) I saw a 50ish man wearing a Mohawk. And while I have seen an occasional Mohawk on teenagers, I have never seen one on anyone over 30. Fortunately, it wasn’t colored.

I wonder if he lost a bet.

A friend of mines daughter is coming home from college for the weekend and she is bring her roommate with her. My friend said that she had stocked up on fruit and vegetables and cottage cheese because her daughters roommate is a vegetarian.

Since this is the first time that the roommate is visiting, I asked my friend if the roommate eats dairy. She didn’t know. She assumed that she just didn’t eat meat.

I told her that there are all kinds of vegetarians. Vegans don’t eat any animal products including honey. Ovo vegetarians eat eggs but no meat or dairy. Lacto vegetarians eat dairy but no meat or eggs. Ovo lacto vegetarians eat eggs and dairy but no meat. Pescetarians eat fish but no other meat. Fruitarians eat only fruit and nuts and any vegetables that can be harvested without damaging the plant. Semi vegetarians eat some meat but on a limited bases. Su vegetarians do not eat any animal products plus onions, garlic, leaks, shallots and scallions. (these are primarily Buddhist so I guess they are afraid of harming others with their breath.) Raw vegetarians only eat raw fruit and vegetables. And, macrobiotic vegetarians only eat beans, grains and fish.

At this point, her head started spinning and she said that the roommate will just have to make the best of what they are serving.

In an effort to promote healthy practices for its employees, the state has been posting signs in the restrooms reminding people to wash their hands after using the toilet. Then at the bottom of the sign they state that there are 400 times more germs on your desk top than on the toilet seat.

This got me to thinking. Since I eat my lunch at my desk, maybe I should be eating it in the bathroom instead. But more to the point, if my desk is that dirty, maybe I should be washing my hands before I use the toilet.

I think that instead of encouraging us to wash our hands after using the toilet, they should be encouraging us to clean our desks.

I was coming back from an off site meeting the other day and decided to stop at Micky Ds to grab a quick lunch. Since I had a co-worker with me, we decided to go inside.

And even though this Micky Ds had an indoor playground, it was located in the middle of now where. Plus, it was 2 pm on a school day so I thought that the place should be fairly quiet.

When we walked in, there was the usual fair of elderly citizens exercising their senior benefits. So, we ordered our food and looked for a place to sit down.  But, since the seniors occupied all of the quiet places, we were forced to sit in the play ground area.

We had just started eating when about a dozen kids came in from out of no where. And with them came screaming and crying, both from the kids and the parents.

Well, eating in the play area seemed like a good idea at the time, but we quickly ate and left.

Roman Polanski does not think that he should serve any time for his rape conviction 30 years ago. This view is supported by Woody Allen, a man who was caught having sex with his girl friends 18 year old daughter.

I guess for that matter, Roman probably has the support of every pedophile in the US. Mama Mia!
